my bad, I guess the pumps and metalworking part made me think he was also the inventor.

then again.
give the technology time and im sure a small computer, internal or external would be able to adjust these factors to meet the demands of the body

The thing is that there's a natural fluctuation of one's blood pressure over the course of the day, so some regulation thingy should be necessary even if the patient doesn't participate in exhausting activities. Hope we'll be able to read more about the tech specs when this device proves itself in more cases.
